Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core View of the Report The unexpected sharp rise in the US PPI last week and the latest retail data showing the resilience of US consumption have continuously dampened the market's expectations for interest rate cuts for the rest of this year. The market is also waiting for Powell's speech at the Jackson Hole Central Bank Annual Meeting on Friday, with overall trading sentiment being cautious. Additionally, with the US mediation in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, market expectations for the easing of geopolitical issues are increasing. Under the influence of these two factors, precious metals have declined under pressure. However, as the US is still likely to enter a "stagflation-like" situation in the future due to tariff shocks, it is advisable to wait and see for now and wait for new entry opportunities [8][10]. 3.
